I'd be curious as to exactly what features comprised the first released version of rails. Was it originally in the MVC structure we know today, or was it more a mixture of random parts that were refactored into that later?
Did it use a CGI model, or did it embed webbrick from the start? etc.
- ebarendt 13y agoYou can see all the gems back to 2004 here: http://rubygems.org/gems/rails/versions http://rubygems.org/gems/rails/versions. Github has the 1.2 branch: https://github.com/rails/rails/tree/1-2-stable https://github.com/rails/rails/tree/1-2-stable
- fizx 13y agoI used rails 0.8, which was a couple months after rails 0.5, the first released version. It was the same mvc structure, centered around activerecord, actioncontroller, and erb views. It embedded webrick for development, and production was a heinous cobbled-together choice of fcgi, fastcgi, or pcgi that you were expected to figure out for yourself.
- damoncali 13y agoIt wasn't terribly different. Old apps are still recognizable as rails. It is just more polished now, and a few head scratchers have died off like RJS and components, and a lot has been refined. The biggest differnces are probably the asset pipeline, bundler, and UJS. Production hosting was an absolute nightmare. I never did understand it. Thankfully, it got better quickly.
